Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Moyamoya disease is a rare, progressive cerebrovascular disorder of unknown cause.
  • It primarily affects young individuals, predominantly in East Asian populations, particularly Japan.

Observation:

  • This report presents two cases of moyamoya disease in Caucasian women.
  • The cases underscore the condition's occurrence beyond its typical demographic.

Findings:

  • A review of postulated etiological factors and associated conditions is provided.
  • The diagnostic and follow-up utility of various invasive and non-invasive imaging modalities is discussed.
  • Emphasis is placed on the evolving role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).

Implications:

  • These cases expand the known demographic profile of moyamoya disease.
  • The review provides a comprehensive overview of diagnostic imaging techniques for moyamoya disease.
  • Highlighting MRI/MRA advances aids in earlier diagnosis and improved patient management.
